Skrill will freeze your account , then investigate, and remove all funds, that were deposited through fake accounts with credit cards.
the seller of the BTC is always the one that gets fucked.
Also never disclose that you are making transactions regarding BTC.

Skrill does not reverse only frozen and close your account. I think paypal is better than skrill at least you can get your money after 180 days if your account is frozen in skrill your money will be gone forever.

All these online currency exchangers are scams, don't use them. My $61.00 was locked as my Moneybookers account was verified and I had to do it manually through their support. So my account is verified and my funds are available, and I message a thank you saying I would give him feedback for actually helping me, and was responded by a different member of staff and my account was deleted. It's impossible to work with these support members they hire to do these jobs. I live in two different places because of school, so it's either the support teams for sites like MtGox & Moneybookers haven't passed high school, or they're looking for anything to rip you off.
Damn, sorry for your loss 
Localbitcoins is being inundated with scammers at the moment, hope it blows over.

Well, seems I was scammed by user billi from Localbitcoins, but the sad part is that we used Skrill, which made things much worse.
This user bought 3.23 BTC from me and sent 300 euro to my Skrill account, but a couple days later the Skrill staff blocked my account and requested to send them some documents (ID card and a domestic bill). I did so, and after a week with no response I contacted again, and they just told me to my surprise that my Skrill account had been closed and that I should not use their services in the future, failing to provide more information.
I suspect this user sent me the fraudulent funds using a stolen account, but seems Skrill treats victim and scammer the same way, blocking both accounts, so I have no way to claim my bitcoins or my money back. They are not only helpless but harmful to victims of scam.
Now I'm completely devastated as I don't know how to defend my rights, since Skrill confiscated my money and left me with no option at all. I'm not an UK citizen so it's very difficult for me to file a complaint through the corresponding authority (FCA?), left alone I'm not a native English speaker.
So beware of Skrill if you are buying or seling bitcoins!

Sucks.
You Can Use Skrill ... But Before You accept it, You Must Make sure that the source of the buyer funds is from trusted websites only
otherwise Don't Accept it
Also .. When using it, Becareful not to receive multiple transfers on it per day .. Cause Currency Exchange is prohibited By Skrill
and will be much better if You make the buyer to write any note about any service you provided to him .. and of course not E-currency Exchange
Regards

Sounds pretty dubious.
